Time. Medium light with short photoperiod to prevent algae. Once you get algae on your moss you're done. 6 hours max. It takes a while tho, the moss grows faster in the beginning when the soil is still leaching ammonia.

Question, does it mean I shouldn't grow weeping moss with some hair algae on it? I'll put transferring it into my new tank, just not sure if I should do it. It has very quick grow though. (moss)

i dont' knkow why.. but i just reread every single page just now. lol..

how in the world did you get the moss to grow that..lush without any excel, liquid ferts, or co2? it's a bloody bush!

and when are you selling your cbs!?

as usual, nice clean looking tanks! i don't even want to venture a guess how you moved all the shrimps outta that moss forest you had there. love it tho haha

All you need is some Mini X Mas Moss, Weeping moss for the wood and stainless steel mesh and fishing line....and lots of patience.

Here's how it started and it grew to that jungle.

Sunday Tank Maintenance Nano

20% Water Change

Massive Moss Trim so I can see the babies better

Starting to wind down this tank. Only inhabitants left are about 20 PBL babies that are too small to catch and move to the 60p. They'll be big enough to move in about 2-3 weeks. This tank still has plenty of life left so I don't know what I'm going to do. Revers UGF works pretty well.

1) Break it down and turn it into a Cardinal tank. (got some coming in May)
2) Put some Pure Red lines in here until I get my Mini M cycled then move them again to Mini M

This tank at it's moss peak. Looks good but hard to see the shrimps. ~6 months ago.

On that last shot, you need to close up that aperture some more so more of the subject comes into focus.

Yeah, I messed up on the last one...I only posted cause she's loaded...hahah..

I can't get any closer...the macro doesn't zoom....I dunno....I might have to crop and blow it up to get the super duper close ones....even that I can't see all the hairs on my shrimps like your shots...
